Your skydiving adventure above Newcastle Beach

Begin your journey to an unmatched adrenaline rush as you prepare for a tandem skydive above Newcastle Beach in New South Wales. This thrilling experience gives you a bird’s eye view of the city, turquoise coastline and lush Hunter Valley.

Arrival and preparation

Your adventure starts at Lake Macquarie Airport where you’ll check in and meet your highly experienced tandem instructor. Receive a comprehensive safety briefing, suit up in professional skydiving gear and prepare for your jump. All equipment including goggles and safety harnesses is provided. Spectators can watch from the viewing area, ensuring memorable moments are shared from start to finish.

The scenic ascent

As you ascend, take in magnificent sights of Newcastle’s coastline, Lake Macquarie and the wide expanse of Hunter Valley. Your instructor remains by your side, answering questions and ensuring your comfort and safety.

Taking the plunge – freefall
